How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Kenner?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Kenner: release fees, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Kenner
Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, River Ridge, and Elmwood all sit in Jefferson Parish, where the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (1233 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, (504) 363-5500) handles impound matters and offers 24/7 online payment at jpso.com/378/Payments. Jefferson Parish's own specific towing and storage rate ordinance could not be confirmed in our research, so the only confirmed dollar figures here come from the Louisiana Public Service Commission's statewide cap on nonconsensual tows: $152.50 an hour for Light Duty (1.5-hour minimum) or $152.50 flat for a private-property tow, plus $34.00 a day outside storage. Ask the yard for an itemized bill regardless.
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport alone generates constant rental-car returns, rideshare staging, long-term-lot overflow, and dead-battery calls from travelers gone a week or more, and state rules matter here: a yard can't charge anything for personal-property retrieval during normal business hours, only up to $64.50 after hours, and self-park lots must be able to determine how long a car's been sitting within a week under Louisiana law. Kenner sits in Jefferson Parish, under the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, 1233 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, (504) 363-5500, jpso.com/378/Payments. No parish-specific rate ordinance could be confirmed, so the Louisiana Public Service Commission's statewide cap, $152.50 an hour for Light Duty, applies. Ask the yard for an itemized bill in either English or Spanish. A resident base that's now nearly a third Hispanic, concentrated in the Little Honduras section of north Kenner, makes this the single most important Spanish-first market in the network. I-10, Williams Blvd/LA-49, and Airline Dr/US-61 carry most local traffic past the Rivertown museum district and the Pontchartrain Center. Kenner's 2020 population was 66,448, the 6th-most populous city in Louisiana, with Hispanic/Latino share up from 13.62% in 2000 to 30.01%.
How we work Kenner
Kenner is built around Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which handled roughly 12.4 million passengers in 2025, and the airport alone generates constant rental-car returns, rideshare staging, long-term-lot overflow, and dead batteries from cars left parked while their owners traveled a week or more. Williams Blvd and I-10 carry the daily commuter and commercial spine, and the Rivertown museum district and Treasure Chest Casino add their own steady visitor traffic. What sets Kenner apart from every other page on this site is north Kenner, known locally as Little Honduras, the single heaviest Honduran concentration point in the entire metro. The city's Hispanic share grew from about 14 percent in 2000 to 30 percent by 2020, and that makes Kenner the most important Spanish-first market in our whole network, our dispatchers answer in Spanish here as the default, not the exception. We reach the airport terminals, Williams Blvd, and the Rivertown district in about 20 to 30 minutes, and flatbed is our default for rental-fleet vehicles, with wheel-lift for the ordinary residential call.

Common Kenner cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Kenner?
Jefferson Parish's own towing and storage rate ordinance could not be confirmed in our research, so the only confirmed figure for Kenner is the Louisiana Public Service Commission's statewide cap on nonconsensual towing: $152.50 an hour for Light Duty (1.5-hour minimum), plus $34.00 a day outside storage. Ask the yard for an itemized bill before you pay.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Kenner?
Bring a valid driver license, current vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. If a law enforcement agency ordered the tow, get their release document first, the yard can't hand the car over without it. Every invoice must be itemized under Louisiana law, so ask for one before you pay.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Kenner?
Louisiana law (R.S. 32:1720) requires the storage facility to mail you notice within 10 business days, or 5 if it arrives electronically, spelling out your right to request an administrative hearing under R.S. 32:1727. Storage fees keep accruing until you respond, and an unresolved vehicle can eventually be sold to cover the charges, so picking it up early is always cheaper than letting it sit.
Can Quick Tow New Orleans get my car out of impound in Kenner?
We're a private tow and roadside company, not the storage yard holding your car, so we can't waive the yard's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you understand the process and tow your car wherever it needs to go once the yard releases it. Call (504) 474-5530.
